Beetroot pasta served with red salsa & homemade beetballs

Yep, this dish is definitely beet-iful. I’ve added beet juice to the pasta so it will turn red (and for extra nutrition) and recreated my beetsteak into perfect little beetballs. I’ve made a homemade salsa sauce, but you can also use store-bought sauces if you want to save time. My partner loved this dish and even asked for seconds. I have to say – the beetballs were pretty amazing!

Step 5 Now start with your beetballs! Add all the ingredients for the balls to a mixing bowl and mix with your hands or wooden spoon.

Step 6 Take about 1 small handful of mixture and roll it into a ball. When done, add some panko bread crumbs to a bowl and roll all the balls to coat in bread crumbs.

Step 7 Heat a large fry pan over high heat with oil or water. Now add the beetballs to the pan and move them around so they are getting fried evenly for about 1 minute on each side.

Step 8 Line baking paper to a oven plate and add the beetballs to the oven plate. Now transfer to your preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes. Tip: if you turn on your grill to high the last 5 minutes or so, they’ll get crunchier!

Step 9 Now juice the beets, or use premade beet juice. Cook water in a pot (about half-full) and add a pinch of salt. Add the spaghetti to the pot and boil until soft and covered in the water. Now add the beet juice and boil on low heat for another 7-8 minutes.

Step 10 Drain the spaghetti and add a bit of olive oil so the noodles won’t stick together.

Step 11 Serve the spaghetti with sauce and beetballs, topped with fresh basil and parsley.

I love fennel! I just never really use it in cooking that much. This salad is so easy to make and very very tasty! Make a big batch and have it for lunch the entire week. Inspired by Deliciously Ella. Related

OK so obviously we love the Japanese cuisine. We have tried to make a perfect vegan ramen soup (one of my partner’s favourite dishes) … and this one came pretty darn close. Don’t be fooled by the ‘soup’, it’s actually a real filling dish! Related
